Frederick Licht, originator of the wheat flake and founder of the Patent Cereals Company of Geneva, and its vice-president, died at the home of his son, Louis J. Licht, last Tuesday morning, July 11, at about four o'clock, aged 79 years. He had been living alone in a suite of rooms on Exchange street for some years. It was there he liked to entertain his young boy friends, of whom he had a number, and they always called him "Grandpa Licht." There he would get up suppers for them, tell them incidents of his early days, and always with some good morals attached. Not alone the boys, but he made friends everywhere. He was an honorary member of the 34th Separate Company and of Hydrant Hose Company. He loved amusement that was clean. When he was taken sick a week before, his sons each wanted him at their homes, and finally he consented to go with Louis J. His illness did not last very long; it attacked his heart and he passed away quietly and easily. He was an honest, good old man, and will be greatly missed. One of the three sons, George F., is Mayor of our city, and another, Louis J., is Eminent Commander of Geneva Commandery No. 29, Knights Templar, and all the sons inherit the same honest traits of the father. They have been brought up in the business, and it will go on as smoothly as before.

Suicide of Wm. S. Liddiard of Stanley - No countryman was better known in Geneva than William S. Liddiard of Stanley. Ever since the "Stanley Creamery" was established, Mr. Liddiard has been a semi-weekly visitor to Geneva, running a double team, selling the product of the creamery in choice butter and sweet buttermilk, and, in season, eggs and other truck. He was a genial, plain-spoken man, and everybody with whom he had dealings had a liking for him. Well, poor old "Bill Liddiard" is no more ! He has shuffled off this mortal coil by his own hand. The story is thus told by a Stanley correspondent of the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle: About 9 o'clock yesterday (Sunday) morning William Liddiard, a citizen of Stanley, committed suicide at his home by shooting himself while suffering from temporary insanity. For two days past Liddiard had been acting strangely, which was attributed to the use of drugs, to which, however, he was not addicted. Last Saturday night he drove his family, consisting of his daughter and two grandchildren, out of doors by threatening to shoot them. Early next morning he stabbed himself three times with his jack-knife and when Dr. Craft, of Stanley, was dressing the wounds, he pulled a pistol and attempted to shoot, but the doctor and others in the room escaped, whereupon Liddiard locked himself tightly in his room, putting the bedstead against the door. Later, about 9 o'clock, the party, reinforced, were endeavoring to gain an entrance, when they heard two pistol shots in rapid succession, and thinking the shots intended for them, retired hastily, leaving the insane man to his devices until noon, when a constable from Gorham broke in the door and found the man dead. Coroner Hollenbeck, of Canandaigua, was summoned, and the body placed in an undertaker's care. Liddiard was 60 years of age, and had always lived in Stanley. His wife died about three years ago. Since then Mrs. Cameron, his widowed daughter, with her two children, have constituted his family.

Dr. Stebbins was summoned, but by the time he arrived he was unconscious, and expired in a few moments.

Victor, April 15 - Fred M. Locke, inventor of the porcelain insulator and oven glass, died suddenly of heart failure at his home in East Main street about 3:30 this morning. Grief over the death of his son and co-worker, Fred J. Locke, on March 7 undoubtedly shortened the life of the inventor, who was the originator of many devices and materials besides the two which are of paramount importance, the Locke insulator and heat-enduring glass. Mr. Locke was born at West Mendon, April 24, 1861, a son of Mr. and Mrs. William Morton Locke. He became a telegraph operator and followed that occupation from 1880 to 1887. It was while acting as operator and station agent at the New York Central in Victor that he began the experiments that produced the porcelain insulator. He began the manufacture of insulators in 1898, employing only a few men, but the demand for his product grew rapidly and the Victor plant in size, becoming the largest insulator factory in the world. Mr. Locke retired from active business in 1904, but continued work as an inventor conducting his experiments in a large laboratory at his home. The business which he founded was incorporated in 1902 as the Locke Insulator Manufacturing Company and now employs about 1,000 men in the plant here and in another large plant in Baltimore, Md.

Besides his wife, Mercy Post Locke, to whom he was married in 1884, Mr. Locke is survived by four sons, Morton F. of Dobbs Ferry, Louis P. of Victor Post of Ravenna, Ohio, and James of Victor, and by several grandchildren.

M., of Geneva Chapter No. 36, R. A. M., and of Geneva Commandery 29, K. T.

He was when in good health one of the best fellows in the world. He had been confined to his home and store with rheumatism for many years.

From Geneva Advertiser 25 June 1901

George R. Long died at his home in this city Saturday morning, June 22d, aged about 62 years. We have known George Long pretty well for forty years. At one time, he was as prosperous a farmer as all the town of Seneca could boast of, grew as large crop and kept his broad acres in the best possible condition. We are not familiar with the cause of his adversities, how his money and lands were all swept away and then coming into Geneva to live. Unfortunate investments and unwise, then drink, may have been the causes. For one or two years he held the office of superintendent of poor in the town of Geneva before we became a city, and the last position he held was that of observing that the dog law was enforced, which office is one not likely to add to one's popularity. No one ever doubted his honesty; that he maintained to the very last. He is survived by a widow and three sons.
